Yvette Jeanette Tetreault, 87, of Derby, VT and recently, New Boston, NH, went to be with the Lord on November 21, 2019 at Concord Hospice House surrounded by her loving family.
The second youngest of 18 children, she was born in Manchester, NH on January 10, 1932 to the late Jean Baptiste and Angeline (Roux) Bergeron. As a young woman, Yvette worked at a variety of factories in in Manchester including the Shoe Shop, Zayres and Modgetec. In 1952, she married Roger Tetreault and became a mother to five children. In 1977, she moved to Vermont to start a dairy farm. Being a city girl, she surprised everyone how naturally farming came to her. She loved her cows and named each one and tamed them. In 1984, she left the farm and moved to Derby, Vermont and worked at Newport City Motel until she retired at age 70.
A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Yvette's family was paramount in her life. Love and laughter radiated from her. She was a blessing to all who knew and loved her. Yvette greatly enjoyed the companionship of her beloved cat, Tinkerbell. A kind and humble woman, Yvette cherished the simple things in life; her word puzzles, her Bible, her family, and Gerard Butler in the Phantom of the Opera. Yvette will always be remembered for her warm heart, jovial laugh, and dedication to family.
Yvette is survived by her son, Roger Tetreault, Jr. and his wife Marielle; her three daughters, Therese Dostie and her husband Danny, Jeanne Lanctot and husband Alan, and Colette Crowe and her husband Stanley; nine grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; sister, Doris Pelky; and several nieces and nephews.
